Need to reinstall YAST

English Applications
#1

I was removing some applications from within YAST and when I finished and exited YAST I could not get back in. The link from withing he start menu was missing and I could not start it from the command line.

I went to opensuse.org and tried to use the one click installation but that did not work so I used zypper to install it instead.

Now I can type YAST2 at the command line but all I get is empty window.

Any suggestions on how I can get YAST reinstalled?

Thanks

try:

zypper in yast* -f

#3

I tried zypper in yast* -f and it installed a bunch of rpm files and now I can open YAST2 and the options are there but every time i select one I get the follower error message

terminate called after throwing an instance of ‘YUIPluginException’
what(): Couldn’t load plug-in qt
YaST got signal 6 at YCP file Wizard.ycp:707
/sbin/yast2: line 454: 14414 Aborted $ybindir/y2base $module “$@” “$SELECTED_GUI” $

I tried removing all of the yast2-qt packages and then reinstalled them with zypper but I am still getting the same error message.

What version of openSUSE is this?
And what desktop are you using?

#5

deleted - please wait

Sorry. I think you need to be more radical.

I suggest removing anything that is for 11.2
As you are using 11.1

My personal recommendation would be to use the repos listed here:
Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide - openSUSE Forums

| Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh | Priority |

1 | packman | packman | Yes | Yes | 90 |
2 | Updates | Updates | Yes | Yes | 99 |
3 | Non-oss | Non-oss | Yes | Yes | 120 |
4 | Oss | Oss | Yes | Yes | 120 |

Then do

zypper ref

zypper dup

Thanks. It took a while but I just finished the zypper dup and it looks like the issue is resolved.

Thanks for the help.
